Wearable Mobile Solutions to Improve EHS & Performance Management
In 2016, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) empowered miners with a new wearable device according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. NIOSH researchers have documented that a continual personal dust monitor (CPDM), (which is a wearable device that monitors the amount of dust in the miner’s breathing) has created a 90% decrease in dangerous levels of dust for miners reducing pneumoconiosis (black lung). The CPDM monitors the wearer’s zone and is detected and updated in a digital readout.
